Adobe InDesign by what i could tell from testing the program last spring is usually used for making prints such as Posters, Brochures and Magazines. but what do i think of it?
So for this 2-page spread project I originally struggled on what images I should choose to wrap the text around but eventually I decided on doing a sort of mid 80s-90s car magazine as all the cars you see here are from that time period. the part i struggled with the most was the wrapping of the text around the images, especially the Porsche 928 (Which is on the very left column) and the Ford Sierra Cosworth (Which is on the 4th column if you're reading from left to right) as I wasn't able to figure out how to get that small chunk of text on top of the cars gone. I really need to work on my wrapping skills
For this drawing I chose the Letters G, J, and S. I drew the S in a Transitional Font (Baskerville), I drew the g in a Slab Serif Font (Rockwell), and finally, I drew the j in a Sans Serif Font (Helvetica). The way I chose these three letters of the English lexicon is quite childish to be honest, I played eeny meeny miny moe several times to choose random letters when I was doing the initial five out of six sketches I was supposed to do.
Work overlayed onto the original image Work For this project I decided to use a picture of somewhat famous Roblox YouTuber "Flamingo", Honestly it was quite difficult to do the Mouth and Hair (despite him wearing a cap in the image), I tried to minimize distortion although flipping the text horizontally may count as distortion. I attempted to use more characters other than J I and Parenthesis "( )", but in the end that's what I mostly ended up using, I did however use Gs and Cs for the nose so that should make it a little less bland.
